Normal service is resumed. British weather never went away

Be not alarmed — the blue above our heads with a hot yellow orb is called
sunshine, and it’s actually normal for summer, even a British one.

This may come as a big shock after months of relentless dreariness — last
summer was the wettest for a century and this spring was the coldest for
more than 50 years. Little wonder the absurd idea has gained currency that
Britain does not have seasons, but merely varying shades of grey skies and
volumes of drizzle. No, the truth is that this country has real weather and
regularly performs huge somersaults.
